Okay I'm a bit late posting but here's some whump!!

CW: It's hinted that Stede has some mental health problems but it doesn't go into any details or anything!

#ofmdwhumptober

Ed should have known that eventually they'd have to talk about the past. He wishes they didn't, wishes they could have stayed as they were; happy to have found each other again after so many years, to have that friendship they've been craving for so long, to be rekindling a love that had come to an end far too soon.

What he wasn't expecting, when the conversation did inevitably start, is for it to turn into a heated argument. Well, heated was probably not the correct word considering it was mostly petty remarks that never quite reached the actual reason everything went to shit, but then Stede switched it up a notch, because that’s something he's always done.

“Did you ever even love me?”

It makes Ed pause, taken aback by the question, because yes, of course he did. But– it was complicated. It's that same complication muddling his mind that has him saying his next words, words he'll regret saying for the rest of his life.

“I loved you, best I could. You made it incredibly hard sometimes, Stede.”

Stede's face flickers, anger turning to hurt in an instant. “Well isn't that the story of my fucking life.” He spits out as the wall he had carefully built over the years, the one that Ed has been slowly helping dismantle since they've entered back into each other's life, slams back in place, his face settling into the same scowl as before. Ed has to look away.

Fuck.

The thing is, he did, does, love Stede. There’s not a universe that exists where he doesn't love Stede. It's just, Stede struggled a lot when he was younger with a lot of things, mentally and because of other people, and Ed was there helping him for so much of it. Only, Stede didn’t help himself, and after a while it became too much for Ed to handle.

He feels awful for leaving Stede, and no matter what excuses he's made up over the years to make himself feel better, none of them were good or made sense. All he can say is he was young and dumb, and yes, it did mess with his head a little bit at the time, but it was nothing compared to what Stede was having to deal with and he'll never forgive himself.

And he knows he shouldn't be arguing with Stede right now, he should be apologising, but he got defensive and panicked and now he's made things worse and–

“You were the only good part of my life back then, Ed. I know I relied heavily on you and that–” a sob breaks past Stede's lips and Ed's head snaps up to see tears pooling in his eyes, threatening to spill. The wall, it seems, is being held together by blu tack and desperation. “–it must have been hard on you, especially at that age, but you just left, Ed. No proper goodbye, just– just left. I was heartbroken.”

Ed watches as the dam finally breaks; the tears slip free and cascade down Stede’s cheeks. All he wants to do is rush over to him and wipe them away, hold him close, comfort him – something he should have done many moons ago – but he doesn’t think it would go down very well if he tried.

His chest aches for the young man Stede had been, the one he had hurt, while his heart hurts for the man before him, having to go through it all again. He's fucked up, he's severely fucked up.

“Stede–” He steps forward, his legs moving of their own accord. Stede flinches at the movement and takes a step back leaving the space between them feeling larger than ever.

“I can't deal with this right now, and I don't want you to have to deal with me like this. You should– you should go.” He sniffs and attempts to wipe away the tears only for more to escape.

Ed's fucking heart is cracking in two at the sight, at Stede's words, at the whole situation. “Stede. I'm not that stupid kid anymore. I'll go if you want me to leave, but I'm not running away because you're upset. I've done that shit once before and have regretted it ever since, I'm not making that mistake again.”

Stede watches him, the sadness still clear as day but also something new, a hint of curiosity, possibly even hope. He looks away and takes a deep breath. “That's nice of you to say. I think, for tonight though, I just need some space.”

“Of course. Yeah, sure, no worries.” He rushes to grab his jacket and shoes before heading to the front door. “I'll, yeah… get out of your hair.” He turns to see Stede watching him. He looks beautiful, he always does and it takes Ed's breath away.

“I'll message you, or call, once I've gathered all my thoughts, I promise.”

“Take your time, mate. I'll be here waiting, however long it takes.” He gives him a small smile.

“Thank you.” Stede whispers.

There's a bit of awkward silence as Ed fights his shoes and jacket on, but when he opens the door he looks back.

“And Stede–”

“Yeah?”

“I really am sorry, for everything.”

Stede's breath shudders out of him. “I know. I know that.

Ed nods then steps out into the night, shutting the door behind him. He looks up at the sky and lets out a breath he didn't even realise he'd been holding.

We'll be alright. He says to himself, wishing, hoping. We'll always be alright… eventually.

And power is officially out. Now I hear some poles are down until they fix the lines.

💚🌹Helen🌹💚 #OFMDForever @cherubwaifu.bsky.social · 12h

What a wild night for my reserve.

The VLTs get robbed and then something blew up down the street. Brother says it must be the new transgenerator or something. Makes sense because the power kept going off and on. 😬😬

OFMD's butterfly effect is so supernaturally strong. Just by existing for 2 seasons, it led to so many people came out, learned to write or make art, made friends, fell in love

What could a third season usher into being?

At the very least, hope, and joy, and love

It's about belonging to something

4 sepia toned images depicting the same pose from 4 different angles; Crowley and Aziraphale having sex. Aziraphale is between Crowley's legs, kissing his chest while he brushes his face with the back of his hand. Crowley has his head angled down to kiss the side of Aziraphale's while he cups the back of his neck with his hand.

Just finished this for lovely @butterscup95.bsky.social! It's a little teaser treat for a future chapter of Lucy's gorgeous fic My Tears Are Becoming a Sea! This is my first time drawing Stede's hobnobbing duds. I loved every second. 🧡
